	A limiting factor for such a project is bandwidth. While
your CPU and disk are your own, your ISP is likely to get very unhappy 
if you saturate your net connection 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 
There's major issues where "unlimited" usage doesn't really mean that.

	Yacy is trying to solve this, but it's a complicated technical
issue.
